In that case your comment doesn't make much sense, because when people say "don't trust that torrent site" they mean the contents of the torrents hosted there. In fact, if you use magnets, you don't download anything at all from torrent sites ever.

Don't you ever pirate software?

In other words, wizards do exist, they are just called IT specialists.

Why? What grammatical mistake did I make?

Game is game. Play whatever brings you joy. Except FIFA, of course.

Lemmy often assumes the worst about comments. I think people interpreted* your comment as "can you imagine this woman I know enjoys this kiddy game?!". While you really meant, I think, "some adults like to play Fortnite, too, actually".

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ah, as in it provides respect? And sounds like cash? I know, I know, dissecting jokes is a lot of fun.

I didn't find any references to "cache". That's the part I want to understand, what the significance of that part of the joke. Why "cache"?

Could you please explain? Now I'm curious.

Oh, it had like an inventory functionality? I love Oblivion, but I obviously didn't get the armor and don't remember the details. I suspect it also provided defense for the horse? In that case it's almost approaching Assassin's Creed's "buy xp to skip grind" level of egregiousness, but still just a DLC.

It didn't start with horse armor. And even then, while clearly stupid, it wasn't egregious in the way modern mtx is. It was just a poorly priced optional cosmetic DLC. Modern mtx is a whole other beast, where companies use every psychological trick in the book to get people addicted to gambling.

What truly blows my mind is the amount of requests the 1st party Reddit app sends home. Back when I was using Sync I still had the app installed, but then I set up AdguardHome and saw that my phone was spamming requests. Checked the logs and found out that the 1st party app, which I wasn't even using for months, was "phoning home" literally every 10 seconds! Besides privacy concerns, that can't be good for battery life. Nuked the app then and there. I'll take the nagging, thank you.
